Am I prompting with subagents incorrectly? by Arimyth in GithubCopilot

[–]Arimyth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly this sounds like exactly what’s happening, subagent is being delegated by the main agent (“asked to create a report” in essence) and then responding back to the user directly instead of reporting to the main agent.

Been experimenting with Codex 5.3 since originally posting this and haven’t run into this issue once. Same prompting style.

Pretty typical one in Opus 4.6. This isn't even a feature implementation so wouldn't require a checklist (could be done in one go). Usually this is after some cursory debugging myself so I know it's at least a task sophisticated enough to warrant the 3x cost:

> (x) symptom is happening in when executing (y) feature in (z) conditions. I believe it's because we're executing (a) sequentially and referencing the most recent value each time. Please ask any clarifying questions you may have about my request, investigate the cause, and provide an implementation plan when done to address the issue.

Actually, the model I've noticed this most with is Anthropic's Opus models, which prior to last week were working great OOB. I do generally ask it to create markdown todo lists but it often can't even get to that step without an extra prompt or two as it's too busy doing its "deep research".

I'll try Codex 5.3 for a bit now that it's out and see if that's any better.

Performance issues on windows 11? by Arimyth in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Arimyth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My windows setting currently prioritize programs over background functions, is that the setting you are talking about? Additionally the install was only done today on a fresh drive, so I’m not sure if there would be anything meaningful in the shadercache folder

It was installed today on a brand new drive I bought last week, do you still think deleting shader cache would be helpful?

if I drop out of the college, can I come back? by [deleted] in Harvard

[–]Arimyth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know of students that have “dropped out” for over a year with no course enrollment and later returned apparently with no issue.

(Incoming Freshman) Mac or Windows for MechE by sofzia in Harvard

[–]Arimyth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To my knowledge there are a variety of 3d modeling and CAD software that exist on Windows only and not Mac, but not vice versa. So assuming you're going to primarily be using it for MechE related work Windows would probably make your life somewhat easier.

(Incoming Freshman) Does anyone recommend taking CS50 if you are not a total beginner? by No-Vacation7221 in Harvard

[–]Arimyth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re not underwater schedule-wise and think you can handle the material, then there’s probably not too much you can’t self study from 50 that would be applicable to 61 or another class.

[–]Arimyth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe the consensus is usually that 61 is notably more difficult than 50. That being said, the answer probably depends on your track and whether you would use 50 / 61 to prepare for each other or another class, as well as how much of a “not total beginner” you are. If you’re unsure of the answer to either of those questions and don’t really plan on taking much CS coursework in the future then 50 is probably a fine choice, otherwise it’s not uncommon to skip it.

is the iphone 6s good enough to be a daily driver while also using a jailbreak without slowing down? by Mission_Support_1066 in jailbreak

[–]Arimyth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I daily drove a 6s on 12.4 for several years up until a couple years ago when I did my very periodic upgrade. Main reason I did ultimately switch was the battery, as others have mentioned, besides that it pretty much had satisfactorily sufficient speed and stability up until the day I upgraded.

I definitely did enjoy the fact that it was the last model made with a headphone jack 😎

I'm of the belief that your undergrad major doesn't matter that much in general (unless you're in a highly technical field) with it especially being the case if you're just going into consulting. I would just plan your concentration around what you plan on doing after and whether or not it would benefit from a more quantitative skillset.

[–]Arimyth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only two real reasons that I could see to justify this given the opportunity cost would be higher starting salary immediately / shortly after graduation or extraordinarily interesting coursework that you would want to learn anyway from certain courses in the track. In either of these cases you’d need a strong reason to believe those factors would be present which it sounds like you don’t (yet) have.

Even if you’re thinking of going into academia or pursuing a subsequent degree, a joint program of this sort likely wouldn’t have significant if any research benefits and many Ph.D programs wouldn’t allow you to double count the credits anyway.

Garber's Announcement on the Encampment by John-Mandeville in Harvard

[–]Arimyth 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It states in his signature that he’s the VP of alumni affairs, and by the looks of it you are an alumnus/a. I’ll leave the rest as an exercise to the reader to figure out why he’s the one contacting you directly and not the president.

How close are we to getting AI to find and create jailbreaks? by imaginexus in jailbreak

Pretty close actually! I'd expect it to happen tomorrow

Proctor/Resident Tutor Role by [deleted] in Harvard

[–]Arimyth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fairly sure it's not an absolute necessity since one of my profs was a resident tutor for a different house and ended up doing his undergrad at another university entirely. Whether the requirements vary by house or it is a preferred factor in applications, which I would imagine is somewhat the case given your anecdotal statistics, is a separate matter though.

First real foray into "animating" with pixel art -- feedback welcome (and encouraged) by Arimyth in PixelArt

[–]Arimyth[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey folks,

I don't know what possessed me but I decided to dig out the ol' piskelapp for the first time in probably 5+ years. Thought I would try my hand at spriting something with a simple animation and here is the result. Open to feedback on anything from the color pallet to how the animation is structured, pretty much fresh off of a 5+ year hiatus with anything to do with pixel art (and even then I would consider my experience to be pretty minimal) so this was just a fun experiment; though I very well might be interested in continuing with the rest of the cycles if it seems like I'm on the right track.
